篇首语:本文由小常识网(cha138.com)小编为大家整理,主要介绍了V4l2初识-----------浅析video_register_device相关的知识,希望对你有一定的参考价值。
在V4l2初识(一)中,我们已经知道当插上一个摄像头的时候,在uvc_driver.c中最终会调用函数video_register_device函数。接下来我们就简要分析这个函数做了哪些事情,揭开其神秘面纱。
参考原文:https://blog.csdn.net/leesagacious/article/details/49948163
/* Register video devices. Note that if video_register_device fails,
the release() callback of the video_device structure is *not* called, so
the caller is responsible for freeing any data. Usually that means that
you call video_device_release() on failure. */
/*注册video_device,注意如果注册失败,video_device结构体中的release函数不会被调用, 调用者负责释放所有的数据,通常是调用video_device_release()函数来释放*/
static inline int video_register_device(struct video_device *vdev,int type, int nr)
{
return __video_register_device(vdev, type, nr, 1, vdev->fops->owner);
}
参数一:video_devide ------即我们想要注册的video_device结构体
参数二:type-----------要注册的device类型,其中包括:
define VFL_TYPE_GRABBER 0 图像采集设备,包括阿摄像头、调谐器
define VFL_TYPE_VBI1 1 从视频消隐的时间段取得信息的设备(1)
#define VFL_TYPE_RADIO 2 无线电设备
#define VFL_TYPE_SUBDEV 3 视频传播设备
#define VFL_TYPE_MAX 4
参数三:int nr------------device node number
0 == /dev/video 0 1 == /dev/video1 ........ -1 == first free
int __video_register_device(struct video_device *vdev, int type, int nr,
int warn_if_nr_in_use, struct module *owner)
{
int i = 0;
int ret;
int minor_offset = 0; //minor = i+minor_offset
int minor_cnt = VIDEO_NUM_DEVICES; //用于设备节点序号
const char *name_base; //设备的名称会根据传入的type来选择
/* A minor value of -1 marks this video device as never having been registered
次设备号为-1,表明这个设备还没有被注册 */
vdev->minor = -1;
/* the release callback MUST be present
video_device一定要设置release函数,否则要出错返回*/
if (WARN_ON(!vdev->release))
return -EINVAL;
/* v4l2_fh support */
spin_lock_init(&vdev->fh_lock); //获取自旋锁
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&vdev->fh_list); //初始化链表头
/* Part 1: check device type

VBI在电视处理中是用来是垂直扫描完成从屏幕底部回到屏幕顶部的时间。在这期间,没有任何的图像信息,在原来是基本废置不用的。后来,利用这期间来传输一些信息,比如CC,图文,VPS/PDC,GEMSTAR等等信息服务。
